- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) provides $900,000 to North Carolina State University to develop innovative, AI-powered online learning environments that promote the learning-by-teaching approach. The project aims to design and empirically evaluate a novel integration of a teachable agent, reinforcement learning, and explainable AI to support students' acquisition of both procedural and conceptual knowledge...
- This $400,000 National Science Foundation project grant supports Purdue University in developing an interactive virtual environment for artificial intelligence education. Funded under the NSF's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), the two-year project aims to create a real-time visualization tool to promote conceptual and procedural understanding of AI among 250 learners. Either immersive using VR headsets or on conventional displays, the tool will focus on foundational AI topics. Iterative...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) Project Grant award of $399,724 to the University of Massachusetts Lowell will develop AI-driven educational technology tools to support student learning in undergraduate computer science courses. The project will explore how large language models can be customized to enable personalized, interactive, and reflective learning experiences for STEM students. Key goals include examining how language models can provide...
- This $300,841 project grant from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) will support Carnegie Mellon University to develop and research an artificial intelligence (AI) across the curriculum program for high school students. Over three years, the university team will create introductory and advanced AI modules for mathematics, English language arts, and history. They will also design $60k in professional development for 12 teachers to implement the modules across...
- This $349,999 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) will support a research project at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) to investigate how to design and integrate artificial intelligence (AI) to support equitable K-12 science education. The project plans to explore the use of multimodal AI to provide automated feedback for formative science assessments, with the goal of generating design principles to develop...
- This federal Project Grant award of $599,649 from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to develop and test an AI assistant, the Representational Reasoning Assistant (RRA), to help middle school students interpret science diagrams, graphs, and charts. The three-year project, awarded to Indiana University, will adapt multimodal large language models to provide visual-focused, pedagogically-supportive feedback to students on interpreting scientific...
This $397,611 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to advance STEM education through the development and evaluation of Artificial Intelligence (AI)-driven Virtual Teaching Assistants (VTAs). The project, led by Washington State University, will create a generalizable Large Language Model (LLM) framework for constructing conversational AI agents optimized for STEM instruction. The VTAs will be deployed and optimized for use in thermo-fluids courses, and their pedagogical effectiveness will be evaluated using quantitative metrics and student feedback. The project seeks to improve student outcomes, promote reflective learning, and enhance STEM learning environments through the integration of state-of-the-art AI language models with effective pedagogical techniques. Findings from this work are expected to support the broader implementation of AI-enhanced teaching tools in STEM education.
